Talk:Dr. Mario (series)

New Information
I put in some information about the upcoming Dr. Mario for the Nintendo Wii. If there's any misinformation, feel free to edit it. I made the section as short as possible, as to not distract from the main focus of the page. User:Chaide 10:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment
I would like to suggest that this is merged with the main Dr. Mario article. User:Hogtree
 * ...No. The "main Dr. Mario article" SHOULD be meant for the original game, nothing more. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Requested move

 * Talk:Dr. Mario series — Dr. Mario series → Dr. Mario – I moved the original Dr. Mario article to Dr. Mario (video game). I want the "Dr. Mario" article (now a redirect) to be the main series page, and my move hopefully preserves the history prefectly.

 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your vote with ~ 


 * Support This works out better, as I believe dropping the "series" flows better, and I think that people would be looking more for the series than the individual game itself. - Hbdragon88 04:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario himself does not have a page for the character. so the Dr. Mario link on the Smash Bros. template goes to the series. This is the same reason why the ice climber's link goes to the NES game becuase there is no character page. As for DK, he himself has a page, so the link goes there, but becuase dr. mario or ice climbers have no character page, they go to the series (or game) they are featured in. So please keep the template on th Dr. Mario series page.→ 0 4 1 7 4 4  05:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Picture to complement gameplay explanation
Would it be possible/necessary to include a picture that helps supplement the explanation in the Gameplay section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.38.225 (talk) 04:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Games
So who decided which games were main games and which ones were remakes and ports? I couldn't find any official statement by Nintendo about this. This is just my opinion but it seems that all Dr. Mario games after the NES and Game Boy releases are remakes with updated graphics and different multiplayer options. I'd say the exception is Virus Buster but I'm not sure if the Virus Buster in Dr. Mario Rx is actually considered a Dr. Mario game or a spin-off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.104.244.6 (talk) 18:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge with video again
Somehow, despite a consensus to merge it with the video game, there still are two articles. Let's remedy this Purplebackpack89 (talk) 18:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
